More news from Moyaland: the 2-bundle delivery method

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Any particular reason why anyone on here would think that we would actually do this?

This is RM we're talking about, if it's a poorly thought out, unworkable method then yes they would want to implement it

You never know it might protect FT jobs.

Now now Teebs, that's our job to bait certain people

because the people who run RM are idiots.
they are desperate (wo)men.
they tried to bring in team-working 2 years AFTER it failed in America which led to the greatest one year loss in US financial history.

And don't forget: The one who came up with that stupid system, is now running RM. If she did it there, then there's a serious risk of her imposing it here too.

why not have a 3 bundle delivery

[clashcityrocker]

Actually the method described is pretty much how I work now.
I am shocked to learn not everyone works like this.
No wonder your revisions are failing.

[arnold cheshire]

theres soon going to be an agreement where you juggle mail on the way round what a joke

[andy2007]

Oh no! Don't give them ideas like that! They'll probably impose it!

[Martin Walsh]

Andy your forgetting one thing unlike Canada the UK has walk sequencing , therefore in the future door to door can be sequenced so therefore there is unlikely to be a need for three bundles. Moya actually stopped walk sequencing from being introduced in Canada as she did not see it as value for money.

The danger now is not what Royal Mail try to implement - its whether the CWU agree to it

It will probably come in then.

According to them they do have sequencing dingo....

[arnold cheshire]

[gb93]

They may or may not Fishtank.
Your link states US have had sequenced mail 4 years though.

Explanation of the 2 bundle system
To clarify for people that are not aware of how the "two bundle" system works here is an explanation:

The Winnipeg plant now has new sorting machines that will now sequence a letter carriers s/l mail to the sequence in which you would deliver it according to your tie out sheet. With this new method, carriers are expected to sort their flats, packets, and unsequencable letter mail ( All the mail that is wierd sizes and shapes) into their sorting case and tie it out according to your line of delivery. CPC is telling us we cannot even touch our trays of s/l that is sequenced until we are ready to leave. So when you are on the street in your vehicle, we are expected to route through the sequenced mail and tie it out to match the bundles of other miscelaneous mail we had sorted ourselves.
